Rejecting Qinghua Baoyan, I became a military officer

Chapter 751 Big Brother, don't overthink it!

The US military couldn't confirm whether the news was true, but Xu Ye could!

It's quite simple. It's really difficult to determine Saddam Hussein's whereabouts based solely on the movements of a Russian special forces unit or a Ukrainian special forces squad.

However, when comparing the two, the possibility becomes extremely high.

In that case, it's pretty much a 100-100% accurate prediction.

Of course, even so, in the end, you may end up with nothing.

However, Xu Ye had a certain degree of confidence in his heart.

Previously, Xu Ye was really taking a "nothing to lose" approach; if it didn't work out, he would simply withdraw and go home for the New Year.

The house he bought in Kunming, and now that he has a girlfriend, it's practically his home.

Unexpectedly, when Xu Ye had given up hope, this turning point appeared.

To be honest, Xu Ye never expected that Shadama could hide so well, and that his whereabouts would only be exposed now.

As for why it's been exposed now?
There's an old saying that goes, "It's better to stay still than to act," because once you act, problems are more likely to arise.

But at this point, unless Saddam Hussein is willing to die for his country, he has to leave.

Xu Ye already admired them for staying until now.

In his past life, Shadamu could stay in a cave for so long just to survive. His current situation is so much better than his original fate. How could Shadamu possibly sacrifice himself for his country?
Sacrificing oneself for one's country may seem trivial, but how many people can truly do it?
Not to mention, he was someone who had once been the supreme ruler.

Such people are rare even in a large country with a long history like the Dragon Kingdom, let alone in a mere YLK.

In his past life, Xu Ye had seen a theory that explained why Emperor Chongzhen, as the last emperor of a fallen dynasty, was not viewed so negatively, while Puyi, who was also the last emperor of a fallen dynasty, was not so well-regarded.

The difference is simple: Emperor Chongzhen died for his country, while Puyi became a puppet emperor with the support of Emperor Hirohito. If he had had any backbone, he would have staged a "Red King's Assassination" when facing Emperor Hirohito. Even if he hadn't succeeded, his reputation in the eyes of later generations would not have been bad.

Even their attitude towards the Manchus would be much better.

Unfortunately, he didn't, and ended up surviving until the 1960s.

At this point, fifty or sixty years had passed since the fall of the Qing Dynasty. What kind of positive evaluation could be given to such a "ruler who lost his country"?
It can only be said that there is great terror between life and death, and very few people can see through it. Puyi could not, nor could Saddam Hussein. In the end, they chose to escape before the country was completely occupied.

Even so, Sadam has persevered to the very end, which is quite admirable.

If Xu Ye's previous decision to "rescue" Saddam was based on considerations of the mission and national interests, then his current actions are also partly due to his courage.

Of course, it would be even better if a few more "special planes" could be provided afterward.

Is Shadak out of money?

is it possible?
Xu Ye would never believe it anyway; at most, he could only say that he wasn't as rich as before.

However, if we were to give Xu Ye a few fighter jets, that wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Xu Ye's judgment is correct, that is, that he really is the group of Shadama, and that he still needs to save him from his predicament.

At this point, Xu Ye could only hope that this wasn't a smokescreen put out by Saddam Hussein.

If it really is a smokescreen, then Xu Ye will only be able to vent his anger on the moldy special forces team.

But whatever it may be, Xu Ye has to go and see for himself.

Having made his decision, Xu Ye replaced the battery on his electric off-road motorcycle, checked that the vehicle was in good condition, determined his direction, and quickly disappeared into the night.

"All personnel halt, stand guard, and rest!"

In a small valley five kilometers beyond the YLK border, Petrov gave the order.

Originally, they were supposed to make the rendezvous outside YLK, but under the latest orders from their superiors, they need to enter YLK territory to make the rendezvous.

Petrov naturally had no objection to this, and after receiving the order, he brought his men here.

Even before the war, crossing border areas like this was a common occurrence for them.

"Captain, our mission objective this time isn't...?"

The vice-captain approached Petrov and quietly voiced his doubts.

Entering YLK at this time of year could easily lead to encountering the mold. Should I treat it or not?

Previously, they had also served as "volunteers" to help YLK carry out many mold-related tasks.

But now they are Russian soldiers, and with that identity, things naturally change.

Therefore, there is only one reason why they would take such a risk to enter: the identity of their target in this mission is very important.

Given the current situation, the answer is obvious.

"Don't worry, you'll find out soon enough!" Petrov said, glancing at him.

However, he did not deny that this was enough for the vice-captain.

Not only the vice-captain, but soon all the team members knew the news.

Everyone immediately became excited.

The reason is simple: based on their previous experience, if the target this time is indeed Saddam Hussein, then they will make a fortune.

Everyone knows that Shadam is really generous to volunteers like them, especially those who have made contributions.

Thanks to their previous actions, many of them have already bought houses and cars in China.

Even for them, they're still earning relatively little!
As far as they knew, pilots earned much more; one pilot was even rewarded with a fighter jet by Saddam Hussein.

Therefore, as long as you have the ability and have made contributions to Yu Shadama, the reward will definitely be substantial.

This time, if the other party really is Saddam Hussein, as long as we bring him back to China safely, forget about cars and houses, he can retire immediately.

And that's how much credibility Saddam Hussein has in their eyes—it's really high!
Petrov did not stop his subordinates from whispering.

It's simple, he was very excited too!
When Petrov first heard that he was to be rescuing Saddam Hussein when he received the new orders, his first thought was: "I'm going to be rich!"

That's right, Petrov also bought a house and a car in China last year.

Moreover, the house was bought in Moscow, and the car was a Mercedes, allowing the family to live a life they could only dream of before.

Despite being a major, he doesn't have much real power; most of his income comes from his salary.

However, in any country, it's not difficult to survive on a salary, but it's absolutely impossible to live a good life on a salary alone.

Petrov is truly grateful to Saddam Hussein for the changes that have taken place.

At this moment, not only him, but all the team members had the thought that even if they died, they must ensure that Sadamu lived.

There's nothing we can do about it; Shadak gave us so much money, and he has such a high level of credibility.

In contrast to the excitement and caution of the Russian special forces, the US special forces team that was sent over was not so enthusiastic, treating it as just a routine reconnaissance mission.

The reason is quite simple: they have performed similar tasks more than once.

However, the final result is often that they return empty-handed.

Moreover, it wasn't just their squad; other squads fared much the same way. This led many to believe that Shadakul was no longer in YLK territory and had already fled to Russia.

It has to be said, this is very American thinking—what could be more important than one's own life?
Therefore, this special mold control team was not in a hurry and proceeded step by step.

Fortunately, they now have complete control of the skies over YLK, allowing them to land directly nearby.

Otherwise, given their attitude, by the time they caught up, the other side would have already crossed the border.

Although this border is nothing to the US, what big deal is a cross-border attack if necessary?

At most, the other party might protest afterward, what else can happen?
That's how dominant mold is these days!

This gave Xu Ye a chance to catch up, preventing the fight from ending before he even arrived.

If the US military captures Saddam Hussein alive, that would be fine. But if they kill him outright, even if Xu Ye wipes out the entire US special forces team, the mission will still be a failure.

That's perfect!
"who!?"

With a low shout, the gun barrel was instantly pointed, ready to fire in the next second.

"I!"

Xu Ye replied, "Muhammad, my brother, it's been a long time!"

As he spoke, Xu Ye's figure came into Muhammad's sight.

"May?"

"Is it really you? What brings you here!?"

The familiar voice filled Muhammad with joy, and he instinctively spoke up.

However, the others, including him, did not lower their guns and continued to aim at Xu Ye.

Although they had already recognized Xu Ye.

However, at this moment, before Xu Ye's purpose is confirmed, it is never too much to be cautious.

Muhammad, in particular, was very clear that no matter how much "Xu" was a pilot, a top pilot, he was no match for him in terms of personal combat ability.

He also knew that even though Xu Ye's hands were empty and they were pointing guns at him, it didn't matter.

However, if Xu Ye really makes a move, they might not be able to stop him.

Most importantly, Saddam Hussein is still at the back and hasn't said a word yet!

“It’s me, I want to see Mr. Sandamu!” Xu Ye stopped and said.

At a distance of over twenty meters, if anything unexpected happened, Xu Ye was confident he could kill them before they could fire.

Xu Ye wouldn't have shown up in front of them if he wasn't confident.

If he hadn't deliberately appeared just now, what were Muhammad and the others thinking if they wanted to be discovered?

Although Xu Ye could continue to provide covert support and protection.

However, this approach could easily lead to misunderstandings and could not guarantee immediate support.

Secondly, Xu Ye also wanted to get a few more "private jets" from Saddam Hussein.

In this way, what is more valuable is being shown in the open than doing it secretly!

Therefore, when Xu Ye saw Muhammad—the former and current head of Shadak's personal bodyguards—and confirmed that Shadak was also there, he made the decision he has now.

Speaking of Muhammad, according to publicly available information, in Xu Ye's previous life, the U.S. military finally discovered Muhammad's hiding place after capturing Muhammad, the head of Saddam's private bodyguards.

It cannot be said that Muhammad betrayed Saddam Hussein; rather, it can be said that the interrogation methods employed by the Ukrainian military were extremely sophisticated, employing not only traditional methods but also advanced technology and brutal tactics, making them virtually unbearable for most.

"Xu, you speak."

Upon hearing this, Muhammad instinctively wanted to deny it.

Little did they know, Xu Ye's gaze had already been fixed on the idiot in the middle of the group.

Although Shadak's appearance has changed drastically, even the most familiar person would not be able to recognize him at a glance.

But to Xu Ye, a true expert in disguise, it was obviously fake.

Frankly speaking, unless Shadak has really turned to ash.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to escape Xu Ye's eyes at all.

"Xu, my dear hero, is it really you?"

Before Muhammad could finish speaking, Shadam stepped forward and spoke enthusiastically.

If it were someone else, Shadak might hesitate.

However, Xu Ye, and the Dragon Kingdom behind Xu Ye, directly led Shadam to make a decision.

Xu Ye's presence here could not possibly be due to his personal reasons; it must be due to the Dragon Kingdom behind him.

In fact, this was not the first time that Shadak had dealt with China.

Although, in the arms trade, Saddam Hussein was also somewhat speechless about China's direct sale of arms to Iran and Iraq.

However, it must be said that although those weapons were not very good, they were really cheap.

They were even willing to sell powerful weapons like bombers.

You have to understand, bombers are definitely offensive weapons; you can't buy them even if you want to.

Moreover, the situation in China at that time was understandable—they were poor!
In addition to other actions, Saddam Hussein still trusted China quite a bit.

As a politician who dared to resist the United States, how could Shadak not understand why Xu Ye was here at this moment? Moreover, since Xu Ye had specifically mentioned him, if he continued to hide, he would inevitably be looked down upon.

“Mr. Saddam, it’s me. It’s a pleasure to meet you!” Xu Ye glanced at Muhammad and greeted him with a smile.

Since Shadam had spoken, Muhammad quickly ordered his men to move the guns away and let Xu Ye walk over.

For some reason, Muhammad felt a sense of relief.

Although he didn't want to admit it, Muhammad really didn't want to have a conflict with Xu Ye.

There was nothing he could do; he simply didn't have much of a chance of winning against Xu Ye!

"Xu, are you the representative?"

Given the urgency of the situation, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Shadama asked directly.

"That's right, I was sent by the organization to assist you in your safe evacuation!"

Without denying it, Xu Ye directly gave the answer that Shadam wanted.

Noticing the excitement in Saddam's eyes, Xu Ye quickly added, "However, sir, as you know, my country is not suitable to intervene, so I was the only one sent here."

Brother, don't overthink it!
